HiddenLayer is proud to announce its participation in the Secure AI project, a new research initiative by the Center for Threat-Informed Defense. Through this collaborative project, HiddenLayer will advance its mission to protect AI-enabled systems by contributing technical expertise and resources to the MITRE ATLAS™.

“We are excited to be part of this project and contribute to the expansion of the ATLAS framework,” said Tom Bonner, Vice President of Research at HiddenLayer. “Community-driven knowledge bases like ATLAS are essential resources for securing AI-enabled systems and supply chains against attacks.”

MITRE ATLAS is a knowledge base of adversarial machine learning tactics, techniques, and case studies designed to help cybersecurity professionals, data scientists, and their companies stay up to date on the latest attacks and defenses against adversarial machine learning. The ATLAS matrix is modeled after and complementary to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, which is well-known and used in the cybersecurity industry to understand attack chains and adversary behaviors.

HiddenLayer joins a diverse group of industry leaders from communications, finance, healthcare, and technology sectors, such as Microsoft Corporation, Booz Allen HamiltonIntel, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., who are contributing their expertise and resources to develop this vital community resource.

The Secure AI project aims to:

  • Expand the ATLAS knowledge base through incident sharing metrics and mechanisms.
  • Document new case studies within ATLAS that address vulnerabilities in industry-relevant systems, including generative AI.
  • Describe new relevant mitigations based on documented AI incidents.
  • Align ATLAS tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) with the current version of MITRE ATT&CK TTPs.

“We welcome HiddenLayer to the Secure AI project and know their deep expertise in AI model security research will be invaluable in enhancing the ATLAS and addressing the unique challenges posed by AI-enabled systems,” said Jon Baker, Director of the Center for Threat-Informed Defense.

HiddenLayer’s participation in this initiative aligns with its core mission to secure AI models and contribute to collaborative research communities. By joining forces with MITRE and other industry leaders, HiddenLayer aims to bolster the defenses of AI systems globally.
